so I have 2 monitors on extended display setting via windows or "extend these displays"

As one monitor is a:

Alienware widescreen 3440x1440 @ 120hz 21:9 Aspect Ratio

and the other a:

ROG Swift 3840x2160 @144hz 4k 16:9 Aspect Ratio

So a choice of 2 from 2k to 4k and widescreen to the general 32inch 16:9

Some game i like on the widscreen and other games I like on tghe other

Issue is I have to switch of monitors, doesnt work all the time as it still recognizes the display so I then have to go into the settings and fug around switching primary displays.

It would be wonderful if I can control the monitors in a way where i can choose which monitor to choose when gaming, like widescreen for racing and standard 16:9 for my over the top RTS games.

Any suggestions?

Thanks OCUK community....

This should do the trick I think, and seems easier to do that the script method above.

Monitor Profile Switcher

Download Monitor Profile Switcher for free. Save and easily switch between Windows multi monitor configurations. Save monitor configurations of Windows 7 or 10 and easily switch between them with a click in a popup menu of your taskbar. The tool is designed for users with two or more monitors...
sourceforge.net sourceforge.net

The short of it:
  • Install Monitor profile switcher (MPS for short), and configure it to run on startup.
  • Configure, in windows, the optimal settings for "use case 1"
  • Save Use case 1 as a Profile 1 in the MPS
    • optional - Add hotkey or shortcut to Profile 1 in MPS
  • Configure, in windows, the optimal settings for "use case 2"
  • Save Use case 2 as a Profile 2 in the MPS
    • optional - Add hotkey or shortcut to Profile 2 in MPS

Rinse and repeat for the number of use cases you want to cater for.
